Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well. Happy with how it is functioning. Would buy again.

I went to the Fort Gratiot store for 2 of these but they did not have them. Chesterfield had 1 but they could not hold it. They asked me to purchase it online for store pick up which I did. I then drove an hour to get it and it was not ready which is ok but the employee up front told me I would have to wait for them to get it but he would not ask anyone to do it and told me it takes as long as it takes. A second employee told me it was "above his pay grade" to help. I eventually went back and grabbed the monitor myself but then I was not allowed to purchase it because there was an "online order" for it. MY ORDER. So I had to cancel my online order and then finally I was allowed to purchase it. Horrible customer service. The monitor itself is fantastic but I will not buy from the store again

Avoid. No drivers or software available through Samsung for this model. This model does NOT have internal speakers despite the case design with forward facing speaker holes. Can’t get the monitor to go over 59-60 Hz. This does not work on Intel PC’s with t in graphics. Waste of time and money. Looks like this COULD BE a good monitor with the correct matching tower and graphics card. Would not recommend despite the excellent full size aspect ratio and ergonomic stand. Super disappointed in this purchase because it’s a nice monitor with cool features and fair price, but it turned into an enormous waste of time setting it up and screwing with it for hours trying to get it to work. Avoid this monitor unless you’re a complete PC nerd who knows how to make it work, (the monitor manual from Samsung is useless).

Monitor was not as expected very cheap Bulid might as well upgrade to something better.

The Samsung 32" Odyssey G51F QHD 180Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor with HDR10 is an amazing monitor for its price point. The package and setup of the monitor was fairly easy to do. One thing that I really love about it is it’s base. I personally love how the legs are spread out as I can move the monitor closer to me when I play a racing game. The picture quality is amazing!. It has very minimal glare and there is little to no noticeable ghosting during fast movements. The high refresh rate makes the overall experience very smooth and the response rate is insane for the price. The colors are amazing and vibrant, and the blacks are very good too. I was able to use the extreme refresh rate and time using DisplayPort. One thing is that the HDR is somewhat lacking though as the colors aren’t the best. Another thing that I like about this monitor is the GUI and thumbstick. It's super easy to access and use the GUI as the thumbstick is right in the middle at the bottom. The GUI is very simple to use and has helpful descriptions when hovering over an option. There are no speakers built in to this monitor but then again it is a gaming monitor. The 32” display is amazing and I like the eye saver settings which comes in handy during long use. I really wish that there was better cable management as the only one is a rubber tie. Overall this is an amazing monitor and I would highly recommend it if you are in the market for a new gaming monitor.

Refresh ever so often, better monitors to buy for the same price

My son loves this monitor for gaming. The only downside is that it would be nice to have speakers built in.

The quite young sales man that helped us sent the item to the wrong address and then when I tried to correct him he did not change the address. Our item got shipped to the wrong address and when I came back to the store to inform him he argued with me about his mistake. Horrible experience and they did absolutely nothing to help weight this wrong. We had to wait must loner for the item to be intercepted and then resent to us. I would not order from this company again.

Adjustment knob would not work. Returned the monitor to store.

Samsung has been a fairly dominant force in the gaming monitor space for quite a few years now, so it should come as a surprise to no one that the Odyssey G51F shows that there's still plenty of life in LCDs even if OLEDs are stealing the spotlight. It delivers an excellent, highly responsive gaming experience as well as ample screen space for every day computing. The design language of the Odyssey hasn't changed much over the years, nor has it needed to. The stand is sleek and stable without taking up an excess of desk space, the complex curves of the rear casing are pleasing to the eye (assuming you ever see them,) and the frame lacks any obtrusive clutter that might distract from the 32" panel. Ports are arranged at the bottom and with the use of the built in cable management it's not hard to route everything so that it's mostly out of the way, if not completely invisible. So, overall, it should be a good aesthetic fit for most desk setups. As far as the panel itself goes, it strikes an excellent balance between image quality and performance. 32" is right about at the point where you start being able to tell the difference between QHD and UHD resolutions, so I imagine some might question the decision to opt for the lower pixel count, but given the difficulty of driving UHD panels at high refresh rates I think they made the right call here. The image is still plenty sharp unless you plan to regularly lean in to inspect things more closely, and everything feels fantastically twitchy running at 144+Hz. Colors are also very good. It's not going to be able to give you the same vivid colors that you can get with a really good OLED, but provided you turn on HDR it can still deliver some very respectable black levels while producing some dazzling colors. And with FreeSync you don't really need to worry about tearing either - which is definitely important if like me you have it plugged into a laptop whose GPU can't quite drive the QHD panel at full speed without the occasional hiccup. Usually I would finish a review by listing some of the downsides I encountered while trying the product out. In this case, though, I don't have any. Yes, there are better gaming monitors available on the market. There are even a few better LCD gaming monitors on the market. But you aren't going to find many of them at this price point. That makes this a very easy recommendation for anyone looking for a big, fast panel for their gaming rig that won't cost more than your tower.

Indeed, this beautiful 32” monitor is the one I needed for games. It fits perfectly on my desk in my game room. Setup was intuitive to assemble the stand and make the hook-ups. This stand has excellent physical characteristics in terms of its ability to be adjusted up/down and tilt back/forward. It is engineered so that it requires minimal effort to adjust my viewing angle yet it holds firmly wherever you set it. A tip of the cap to the Samsung engineers for making this a very simple and effective physical adjustment that is better than any other I have seen on many monitors. I did connect via HDMI although this monitor also has a Display Port. I ran a couple different color generators, and the colors were spectacular. I viewed hundreds of colors of various shades and brightness and everything was superb. When playing XBOX games this color excellence was observed both in terms of the vivid colors as wells as no bleed-over from one color to another – no matter how fast the action was. I noticed a ‘depth of the display’ in many game scenes which also reflected the powerful design specs of this device. These super-color qualities reflected the QHD resolution as well as the FreeSync properties of this monitor. There is even a ‘Black Equalizer’ parameter that did help lighten dark spots in some games which can reveal things you might miss. The large 32” screen is awesome and did improve my game experience. In addition, the extra ‘real estate’ was very helpful with creation and reading of spreadsheets and presentations. I love this monitor, it seems the perfect size; not too big nor too small for my situation. I highly recommend this unit.

I have recently been using the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 G51F Gaming Monitor for several days, and I can say that it has significantly exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is remarkable; the QHD resolution renders every detail exceptionally clear, and the incorporation of HDR10 enhances brightness, adds depth to shadows, and contributes to outstanding visuals. The performance capabilities are as commendable as the visual output. The 180Hz refresh rate, coupled with an impressively fast response time, ensures smooth gameplay with little or no lag. I particularly value sync technology, which effectively mitigates screen tearing and stuttering. Whether immersed in fast-paced action or navigating expansive virtual environments, the gameplay remains seamless and stable. Ergonomics is equally crucial to performance, and the adjustable stand allows for convenient tilting and positioning of the screen for optimal viewing angles. Samsung has meticulously considered every aspect of this monitor. The monitor’s gamer-centric features are a massive point of interest for me. The Virtual Aim Point significantly enhances accuracy during competitive play. Additionally, the Auto Source Switch+ facilitates effortless transitions between various input sources, further enhancing my experience as a user.

I have been using the Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor for about a week and a half, mainly for gaming. While I’m playing, usually on games like Valorant and Minecraft, the 144Hz refresh rate is a noticeable improvement over my previous 60Hz monitor. Gameplay is smoother, and the overall visual experience is sharp and responsive. The monitor displays good color and image quality across different types of content, and can be adjusted for whatever I am doing with the presets, or with custom settings. The design fits well on my desk, and the stand is at the perfect height right from the box without needing to be adjusted. There are a sufficient number of ports, and I had no trouble connecting it to my setup. Assembly was simple, and navigating the settings for the monitor is very easy and can be easily accessed from the buttons on the bottom of the monitor. I have not encountered any issues on the monitor, even though I have only used it for about a week and a half. After consistent use, I have no complaints or areas where I feel the monitor could improve and so far my experience with it has been great.

The Samsung 32" Odyssey G51F QHD is a great monitor for gaming as well as other computer needs. It comes with a 180Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync HDR10 display. The monitor comes equipped with a DisplayPort and HDMI input. It also comes with a headphone out jack that you can connect to your computer speakers or headphones. The monitor comes shipped in a well packaged box. It comes with an included HDMI cable as well as a DisplayPort cable. It comes with a QuickStart guide and instructions. However, the monitor is very easy to assemble. I connected the monitor out to my headphones and was able to control the volume from my headphones using the built in line adapter on my headphones. The volume wasn’t as loud as I like for it to be, but it’s doable. The picture quality and response time is excellent. The 32” screen is a great size while using it for gaming, browsing the web, and doing other computer related tasks. Overall, this is a very good monitor and I’m definitely enjoying using it. I hope to get years of great use from it.

Did not find this item to be user friendly following purchase.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 32" gaming monitor is a good value for those gamers on a tighter budget looking for a larger monitor while not sacrificing refresh rate (144Hz or 180Hz) and response times and also maintaining a 2560x1440 resolution. To start things off I'll go over the size and resolution. In my opinion 1440p is the minimum for a monitor of this size when it comes to a desktop environment. I generally believe that pixelation becomes an issue on text and application interfaces if you go any lower on the resolution for a monitor this big. For gaming, 32 inches and 1440p is a good spot to be, especially with mid-tier GPU options. I have no complaints about screen door effect while gaming from a comfortable seating position with this monitor. As for the refresh rates of this monitor, you'll need to be sure to use Displayport if you are looking to get the full 180Hz this panel offers. If you opt to use HDMI you will be limited to 144Hz as the G51F is only equipped with an HDMI 2.0 port and not HDMI 2.1. That a side, movement looks pretty smooth with either input with a little ghosting and slight overshooting with overdrive all the way up. Build quality is about what you'd expect from a gaming monitor from Samsung. Sturdy with a good stand but not a lot of frills. My only real complaint is the brightness. It's probably bright enough for most but for my room with lots of sunlight it's right on the border. A few more hundred nits would be greatly appreciated.

First monitor… im super happy and exited perfect size and quality

Great quality. Works well with my PS5 Pro. Easy setup.

I have always been a big fan of Samsung computer monitors. I’ve probably owned 10+ of them over the years. They have always been good quality, and on the off chance I did have a problem, Samsung's customer service is top notch. Out of the box you can tell this is a good quality and well-built monitor. It is very easy to put together, you basically just have to snap on the stand and you are ready to go! It has all the adjustments you need. You can tilt it up and down as well as swivel it side to side. There is also a height adjustment so you can move it up and down a little as well. The design is very minimalistic, while still looking like a gaming monitor at the same time. They don’t overdo it with tons of RGB lighting like a lot of companies do. It will look great sitting on any desk! My workstation is primarily used for work stuff as well as entertainment like watching online videos and a little bit of gaming as well. I was looking for a monitor that would give me a great balance of all of those things. I can definitely say, this monitor did not disappoint. While it is not a 4K monitor, its what’s known as a QHD or 1440p monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 and it also has HDR10 as well. It has 1 DisplayPort (1.4) and 2 HDMI 2.0 ports. For most people, that will be plenty. I usually just use the 1 display port. For office and video watching type stuff, the monitor looks great. It has an amazing crisp picture and looks great! For gaming, that’s when the 180Hz refresh rate and 1 millisecond response time comes in very handy. From old games, to the latest, they look amazing and have no screen tearing or anything like that. The monitor also has AMD FreeSync Premium which will add to keeping your video rock solid with no weird tearing or jagged edges or any kind of sync problems. I tested it out with a couple of my favorites, Elden Ring and Cyberpunk. The experience was amazing and flawless. Just for fun I also plugged in my Switch 2 and that also looked great as well. But with that, I did find the one small flaw in this monitor. It does not have any kind of internal speakers. So just be sure you are aware that you will need some kind of external speakers with whatever you use this for. Other than that, I really cannot find any negatives about this monitor. Its great quality, has a great price, and just works! Definitely check it out if you are in the market for a new monitor!

In the box is the monitor, power cord, stand, stand feet, HDMI cord, DisplayPort Cord, plastic decor ring, instructional guide and additional information/warranty guide. First Impression - This monitor is huge (as expected) but super light and the stand feels like it weighs more than the actual monitor. I am a little nervous about the feet but there are silicone pieces (anti-slip grip) that are placed perfectly to keep the monitor in place. The screen is matte which is new to me. The box that it came in was well packed and no worries about damage to any of the pieces as each piece is properly placed. Installation - Putting together the monitor was SUPER easy and it’s actually easy to take down if you want to travel or move the monitor to another location. (Everything snaps into place.) Game Play/Monitor Usage - Gaming was smooth and responsive. There is a gaming menu that is built in that you can use without the need of using an extra app. My favorite so far is the onscreen cross hairs. You can basically set up your gaming features and tether the view of the game of how you want it. I just got a new gaming laptop and the only difference between the monitor and the laptop screen was the matte. I didn’t think that I would like it but with time, I prefer it a little more now. The monitor is placed in an area with windows, so there is a lot of sunlight that peeps through and I didn’t have to worry about glares. I would also like to note that while playing RPG games, the monitor had a low latency. Side notes - There is no audio, however, there are outputs where you can plug in your headphones or speakers. I also watched videos and used one of my streaming apps and watched a show. The videos were flawless and my show played good with the current settings but I adjusted for a better view. The monitor has 2 HDMI ports, 1 DPI, a service and a headphone jack. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this product, I would definitely purchase again and I would highly recommend it to friends and family.
